In general, I have low expectations of institutional care. I was quite surprised at the high level of care mom received in Advantara of Chicago Ridge. Having Dementia & suffering fractured vertebrae, the staff proved proficient, nurturing & compassionate. Imagine my surprise arriving for a visit, finding mom seated at the nursing station “organizing papers” to redirect sundowning behavior. AMAZING! She was kept clean, hair combed, & the staff routinely engaged her in conversation. She had physical therapy 5 days per week during her 2 week stay. I can confidently recommend this facility for your loved one’s recuperative needs.

My sister and I were nervous looking for placement for our Grandma here after a broken hip. We came and toured and was given information in detail about the facility, their staffing, the certified therapist that would be assisting with healing and strengthen & the options for helping get her back home safe. We were greeted with friendly faces and helpful personas an if we had questions someone always came to answer or explain.<br><br>Thank you for your care and consideration we know it’s not easy with so many of our family members coming and explaining what we think is best.<br><br>CNA Tracey was a great help encouraging GMA daily to make sure she is trying so she can get back home.
